Publication number: 20230058127Abstract: The present disclosure relates to server arrangement for operating, controlling and managing financial operations. The server arrangement implements a shared ledger for recording and storing financial data (e.g., financial transactions) of accounts that are supported by distinct licensed core banking engines. This may allow the server arrangement to implement the licensed core banking engines to perform financial transactions without the use of a payment processor. The server arrangement implements a virtual marketplace where banking services are rendered available to users. Each banking service may be sold by one of the licensed banks to a banking client entity and the banking client entity may select and bundle the banking services of the licensed banks and offer the bundle for sale to the clients in the virtual marketplace. This may facilitate operation for the banking client entities and management of financial assets for the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: Olivier BERROD, Jose Angel FRANCO NAVARRO, Martin GAUTHIER, Francois LORANGER, Alain LAVOIE, Roger MILLER, Christopher SÉBASTIEN

Patent number: 10766573Abstract: A snowmobile includes a tunnel having an inverted U-shape, having top, left side and right side portions which at least partly enclose a space. A drive track is disposed around a rear suspension assembly and at least in part in the space. A first heat exchanger has a heat exchanger liquid inlet and outlet. The heat exchanger liquid outlet fluidly communicates with the heat exchanger liquid inlet and with an engine liquid inlet. The first heat exchanger forms part of the top portion and is operable to dissipate heat toward the space from liquid passing therethrough. A second heat exchanger has a heat exchanger air inlet and outlet. The heat exchanger air outlet fluidly communicates with the heat exchanger air inlet and with the engine air inlet. The second heat exchanger forms part of the top portion and is operable to dissipate heat toward the space from air passing therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS INC.Inventors: Sebastien Vezina, Jonathan Fortier, Alain Lavoie

Patent number: 10513970Abstract: A snowmobile has a frame including an inverted U-shaped tunnel having top, left and right portions at least partly enclosing a space. A drive track, operatively connected to an engine, is disposed around a rear suspension and at least partly in the space. An air intake system has a heat exchanger surface disposed in or adjacent to the space. Air flowing through the intake system contacts the heat exchanger surface to be cooled thereby before entering the engine.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS INC.Inventors: Sebastien Vezina, Jonathan Fortier, Alain Lavoie

Patent number: 9919726Abstract: An adjustable handlebar riser assembly has an outer member, an inner member, a pin, a retainer member and a locking member. The inner member and the outer member have mating flat-bottom V-shaped faces. The inner member slides at least in part within the outer member. Each of the outer and inner members has at least one aperture through their flat-bottom V-shaped faces. The pin is inserted in an aperture of the outer member and in an aperture of the inner member. The retaining member is connected to the pin at one end while the locking member is connected to an opposed end of the pin. The locking member can exert a tension on the pin, pressing the outer member onto the inner member for locking these members at a selected position relative to one another.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2013Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS INC.Inventors: Christian Labbe, Yvon Bedard, Mathieu Mercier, Alain Lavoie
